A National Geographic special on Gravity introduces gravity as the force that is responsible for everything in the universe — from the big bang to the formation of galaxies, stars and planets, to holding all the matter together from the atoms to the universe,

Michael Lewis hits it out of the park again with this book. Apparently our minds play tricks and our gut instincts are fallible. We can’t trust anything we think or feel. We see patterns with meaning where there is no meaning. We ignore data and make up stories.
